Walt Whitman
“I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.”
“I sing the body electric.”
“Nothing can happen more beautiful than death.”
“STRANGER! if you, passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me?”
“I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love.”
“The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.”
“You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.”
“I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.”
“Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)”
“I celebrate myself, and sing myself.”
